[SET COMMENTS]
Frosmoth is a potent setup Pokemon thanks to its ability Ice Scales, allowing it to set up against strong special attackers like Alolan Raichu, Vikavolt, and Vanilluxe. Hurricane lets Frosmoth break past threatening Pokemon that resist its STAB moves, like Salazzle, which has a high chance of being OHKOed after one Quiver Dance. Hurricane can also be beneficial against nuisances such as Scrafty and can pick off Pokemon like Charizard and Escavalier when they're weakened. Giga Drain can be used over Bug Buzz to deal with bulky Water-types like Jellicent and Gastrodon, which could otherwise poison Frosmoth with Toxic and put it on a timer. Giga Drain can also be useful for regaining health, increasing Frosmoth's longevity and ability to tank hits from powerful attackers. Heavy-Duty Boots is essential to this set, as Frosmoth's 4x weakness to Rock is extremely problematic and would otherwise hinder its chances to sweep. Additionally, Heavy-Duty Boots allows Frosmoth to pivot in and out against weaker special attackers such as Vileplume and Rotom.
Few Pokemon can handle Frosmoth after a Quiver Dance, but bulky Steel- and Rock-types like Copperajah, Escavalier, and Coalossal can switch into it without much worry and threaten it out. Therefore, it's pivotal to include a few switch-ins to these Pokemon; Heavy-Duty Boots Charizard is a great partner thanks to its bulk, STAB Flamethrower, and ability to badly poison Pokemon like Jellicent with Toxic, which could prevent Frosmoth from setting up and sweeping with Taunt. Ground-types such as Rhydon, Steelix, and Mudsdale are good teammates, as they can force out Steel- and Rock-types, as well as set up Stealth Rock, further assisting Frosmoth in its goal to sweep teams. Rhydon in particular is a favorable option, as it can switch into Fire-types with ease, bar Ninetales, in the case of Frosmoth not having enough boosts through Quiver Dance to take them on. Additionally, Charizard and Mudsdale can switch into Passimian's Close Combat, which Frosmoth greatly appreciates.
